About Selina

Selina Wilkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people regain balance. She emphasizes clear, useful tools rather than jargon. Selina writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

She focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and problems with sleep or eating. She also works with issues such as addictions, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related matters.

Background and approach

Her practice includes care for people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and life transitions. With 22 years of experience, Selina blends methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies with a warm, client-centered stance. She aims to make sessions feel collaborative and practical.

Sessions often include simple skills to manage feelings and actions between meetings. Selina creates a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can speak honestly and try new ways of coping. She emphasizes partnership in setting goals and checking progress.

The work is steady and goal-focused, with room for compassion when things feel hard. Located in Michigan, Selina offers several ways to connect and schedules sessions to match each person’s needs. She encourages anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed to reach out and begin a manageable plan for change.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical exercises to handle distress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to change patterns that worsen mood or anxiety and is often helpful for sleep, eating, and stress-related problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating. This can be valuable when working through intimacy issues or communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Sessions are adapted over time as progress and priorities become clearer.

Offering therapy online makes regular sessions easier to keep. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and mobility limitations. These formats let people practice skills between sessions and check in when life gets busy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
